Shapely Seating – Adapted from Garden Design

Keeping with my theme from yesterday, I am on a campaign to renovate the backyard for an upcoming baby shower. So I have been scouring the internet & Pinterest for ideas I can implement without employing my husband’s handyman skills. I came across this article I found inspiring and thought I would share with you my wish list if I suddenly won Powerball.

Shapely Seating

Outdoor chairs are the stars of alfresco furnishings—a single chair tucks neatly into a cozy corner of the garden; a grouping quickly becomes a beloved gathering spot. But a bright, modern seat that instantly adds color and edge to a previously monochromatic landscape—that’s a backyard hero.

Constructed from ash, a wood known for being both strong and lightweight, this half-upright seat from the newly founded French company Concept Suspendu combines hammock and chair in a creation that can’t help but inspire whimsy and leisure. It’s the perfect womb for an afternoon nap.

Part of a new line from Georgia-based importer Upcountry Gardens, this retro beauty is named for its ability to withstand seaside weather conditions. The seat, made of resin webbing woven on an aluminum frame, recalls rattan designs from the 1950s.

Orange interior detailing adds a jolt of color to Philippe Starck’s molded armchair for Kartell. Its sleek lines betray its utilitarian focus: The holes are meant to store newspapers or whatever you see fit to accompany you on an afternoon outdoors.
